What should Fairfax residents do before the crew arrives?
Stop using the fixture, keep clear of bowed drywall and photograph the damage from a safe position. Move small belongings only when the room is safe.
Should a Fairfax homeowner paint over the stain?
Wait until the ceiling cavity is measured dry. Paint can hide damp drywall and insulation without solving the water problem.

Water may remain in insulation or wood after the flow ends. A moisture assessment shows whether drying is still needed.
When is wet drywall removed in Fairfax?
Soft, saturated or contaminated board may need removal. The technician bases access on material condition, water category and moisture readings.
